[SOLVED] Bricked Sony X1 - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have unfortunately bricked my phone, had put custom roms on my phone before and had itje's Touch 14.2 on my phone for about 6 months before deciding to change it.
After changing it, the phone would update to the rom i wanted, but then after about 6 hrs of rom use, the phone would stall, hang and require a hard reset, after trying with a number of roms, this became the norm. I was therefore trying to get my touch 14.2 rom back, but managed to brick my phone.
The phone starts in bootloader mode with:
"KOVS110
SPL - 0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
Contunue to Upgrade ROM, please wait...
USB"
That is with the phone connected to the usb port either charging, or connected to the computer (with the sim card out), when the sim card is in, it changed to
"loading..."
and stays on that screen.
I have d'loaded mtty, signed the drivers, but not sure what iam doing wrong..
Possible steps I may need to change for mtty to correct itself maybe due to these factors in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290&highlight=serial)

Follow this procedure for FLASHING YOUR ROM FROM INTERNAL STORAGE AFTER MTTY
Before you start grab: mtty1.42.zip
AND ENSURE YOU HAVE HARD-SPL ON YOU DEVICE!!
Procedure:
1: Download a ROM of your Choice, RENAME the *.nbh for your ROM to: DIAMIMG.nbh
2: Copy DIAMIMG.nbh to the "Internal Storage" of your Device.

* Phone needs to be in Hard SPL mode (not sure if the phone is in that mode anymore)
* Place *.nbh on the internal storage of the device (I cannot do this, as the phone is not recognised by the computer)
I have tried everything, but to no avail...
Hard resets, re-flashing, mtty....all come back to the same screen
Please help... : (

try this
try flashing a stock rom and then flash a cooked one...
i had the same problem on my x1...when i flashed a new rom it was fine till i make a soft reset...but instead of a soft reset it performed a hardreset...and sometimes hang on the SE logo
hope it works
report back

I fixed it!!!....
Used SEUS to update the ROM...
phew!!!..
now to hard spl my phone...again

task 29 will also un-brick your device, trying to reflash will give an error, but task29 will set you back to the beginning

extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

Found it here, @ the end of the first post.
Thank you for all your help
well after not sleeping all night yesterday now it's working
i don't even know how it began again to work
i did a flash of a stock rom it stopped at 10% then a hard reset (didnt work initially) then flashed again hardspl and it could do the hardreset.
im si happy it's working again
i don't count that much on se warranty
thanks again
Sometimes the problem is in the incompatibility of Hard SPL with your ROM. Same happened to me with Diamond. Only flash another rom and problem solved

If you can find the dowloaded .nbh file on your machine, you can copy it to your microSD card, rename it to Kovsimg.nbh and flash from bootloader that way.
However I couldn't find where the SEUS was saving the file.
Well my problem was very strange because i could flash the firmware through microsd or RUU successfully but it didnt boot. It just showed the logo for some seconds and rebooted again. I also tried many commands with mtty like task 28, task 2a (which make it just appear a white screen and nothing else). anyway the only thing to make it work was to hard reset and then flash the hardspl again...
after flashing the hardspl the hardreset began normally.
Does anyone know how to do the hardspls - Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
but then the error message is coming and no
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"

pls help. can't flash my blackstone

hi people.
hopefully 1 of you guys can help.
i flashed a dutty rom on my blackstone a while ago, and everything went fine. then a month or so later, for no reason, my fone just shuts off, 5 or 6 times a day. so i decided to flash the original software to see if its a hardware prob and then hopefully get the fone replaced.
the only problem is i managed to sync my fone ONCE since i put dutty's rom on and never since then. even in boot loader the fone only ever says "serial" and never, ever usb. i've tried different leads, different pc's, and these leads and pc's will connect to my old trinity which still flashes a dream!
so i reckon there must be some connection prob in the blackstone itself. any thoughts?
i read somewhere that you can flash from the memory card. so i got a rom, and copied it to the root of the card, then started in bootloader. it flashed up a grey screen with some writing on, then straight to the bootloader screen so fast, i never got chance to read what it said. did i not get something right?
the rom is titled "BLACIMG.nbh" on the card
thx in advance

First off all Flashing queries should be posted in this thread.
To answer your question.......If you are only getting 'serial' at bottom of bootloader I'd recommend flashing original stock rom which came with your device first before trying to flash a cooked rom. This original stock rom can be flashed even if it states 'serial' in bootloader (note - this is the only rom this will work with). Stock roms can be found here. Once you have flashed this stock rom, use this guide to flash rom
For your info, flashing from sd card should be done as follows:
Copy BLACIMG.nbh into the root dir of your Storage Card.
Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
Turn off your device by using the Power Button
If you use HardSPL: Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button. The device will display a message and offer you to flash.
If you use USPL: Remove your microSD card first to prevent starting the flash, then go into bootloader mode. When in bootloader mode insert the card and follow the instructions on the USPL page to start USPL. The device will restart into USPL and will now present you the message to flash.
As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
Please post further flashing queries in dummies guide thread

HTC Pure won't boot, flash stuck at 0% HELP!!

Please help, I was uninstalling some applications from my HTC PURE and had to restart the phone, when it was rebooting it hung at the ATT screen and there was small red text in the bottom left screen.
I had previously installed HardSPL 1.83 but relocked it via instructions in 2nd post because I'm still deciding if I wanna keep the phone and didn't wanna do anything for warrenty reasons.
I have the stock ROM and never installed anything except the HardSPL and the revert.
Please help me, I have tried to load the ATT Pure Stock/Shipped ROM I found here but everytime I try to in the bootloader mode it says either "no image file" or hangs at loading depending what I've tried to name the file. Also I've tried to run customruu.exe to install the stock ROM and also tried to install HardSPL 1.83 but it hangs at 0% and eventually wants to do recovery on the PC.
How do I fix this problem, and preferabbly get it back stock. I do have a warrenty, well unless I violated it by installing HardSPL then doing the revert.
Thanks

Of course you hard reset?
Make sure your SD card is formatted to Fat32 and you may mant to try a different card, 2gb - 4gb.
What does your SPL say now in bootloader mode?
Yes I tried a hard reset. I can try another sd card the one I used was fat32 and 2gb. I believe it says 1.33 can't look now but I know it's not the same as an untouched pure.
Help!
You are not the only one who is having this issue. I am frustrated beyond frustrated. How are other people flashing their out of the box ATT Pures using the same exact steps but I can't? It's making no sense.
1. I turn off firewalls.
2. I've tried both usb and sd card boot, didnt work
3. I installed the enablerapi cab
Nothing works and I am having the same problem you are having...it stays on 0% forever and it doesnt even prompt me saying there is an error it just sits on 0% until I unplug it...

Are you trying to HSPL or flash a ROM?
Well
According to what i've read, you have to do Hard SPL before you flash a rom, so i've been trying to HardSPL and it doesn't work! I even tried to skip the step and just flash the rom and it doesnt work..
Now, I also have an ATT Tilt to and I JUST flashed a rom 30 mins ago, so it has nothing to do with firewalls or anything as far as my computer goes, I think its the phone, so what can I do?

Its a good thing flashing the ROM didn't work, you'd be bricked.
For flashing HSPL, it seems that newer phones are having an issue.
Something may have been changed that is preventing the unlocker from working.
Do the following;
1. Hard Reset
Instructions:
- Soft reset with stylus
- Hold Vol up & Vol dwn simultaneously until white screen appears
- Following screen prompts, Press Vol up to confirm.
2. Go to bootloader mode.
Instructions:
- Turn off your device using the power button
- When the device is turned off, simultaneously press the Vol dwn + Power button
- Your device will startup in Bootloader mode
Should say SPL: 1.33 or something.
3. Sync your phone to your PC.
4. Install enablerapinew.cab
5. Unzip both Topaz_CustomRUU_v1.1.zip & SPL_183.zip to the same folder
6. Run the CustomRUU.exe
This process should install HSPL and now when you enter bootloader mode you should see something like SPL: 1.83 Olinex.
If so, you're ready to start flashing custom ROMs.
If not, please report all errors to the HSPL thread or PM Olipro.
**I take no responsibility for any loss of data or functionality of your device.**
See, the problem with your instructions are...
1. You cannot soft reset with the stylus, I don't see a button anywhere on the phone ( ATT PURE not Diamond 2 )
2. Holding Vol up & Vol down simultaneously until white screen appears doesn't work. The only thing that works is when I hold Vol Down and the screen with the colors come up, not a white screen.
So i'm still lost. Thanks for your help regardless. I just really want to flash a new rom so I can stop using this stupid slow ATT rom.
So basically you are messing with your Pure and don't know how to soft reset?
Remove the stylus and in the groove for the stylus is a red dot, that is the red reset button. Insert the tip of the stylus in the red dot and push. Now the Pure will soft reset.
Probably should familiarize yourself with the device before you finish turning it into a brick!
Oh wow. That is so hidden.
On my Touch Pro 2 its right there on the side where you can see it, with words.
Anyway, Thank you very much, i'll try that.
Still, what about the Up and Down button volume button function so I can go into bootloader mode?

Now that you found the soft reset button.... follow my procedures.
Note- you have to hold the keys IMMEDIATELY after soft reset before the boot screen appears.

Didn't work, I re-did the steps you listed 3 times over to make sure I was correct and the same results. I guess ATT has found a way to stop their phones from being unlocked.

You should probably post over in the HSPL thread.
You'll get more help over there. There are many others having similar issues and there may be a fix over there.
FYI, when you get to the tri colored screen, that is where it shows what SPL you have currently.
Updating rom freeze
Hi, I don't post much if at all, normally you guys have it right on the button, this is my 3rd phone to run custom roms on but for some reason it just freezes on the "Updating ROM image on your PDA Phone..." screen and doesn't continue past, on my last 2 phones active sync worked well with updating to custom roms,seems like my Pure produces the same error after the attempt, its a communication error "ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR", now recovering from the error is not a issue, we all have familiarity in that area but I was wondering if it could be something as simple as the cable that was sent with my phone or if its possible to flash rom through sd card as opposed to using active sync?

Yes, you can flash through storage card, just rename the .nbh to TOPAIMG.nbh, Put in root of storage card and enter bootloader mode.
You have HSPL'd, right?

From HTC site (HTC Pure support):
What is a Soft Reset and how is it performed?
A soft reset basically resets the memory structure in the handheld. This recovers the device from memory conflicts, corrupted system service chains (mainly due to attempting hacks), memory leaks, and system lockups due to the “Fatal Exception” program errors. Removing the battery from the device while it is still powered on is NOT a soft reset and can actually damage the device.
A Soft Reset is performed by:
Remove the Battery cover and the Stylus from the device.
Insert the tip of the stylus into the Reset hole located at the entry point of the stylus silo.
The device will reboot.

What does your Bootloader screen show for SPL? (Soft reset phone and hold Volume Down before boot starts until you get to tri-colored screen)
1.33.00 or 1.83.Olinex, or?

Where it says SPL - 1.33.0000, if you successfully HSPL, it will say 1.83.Olinex.
I suspect you didn't verify your SPL flashed correctly before you attempted to flash the ROM? If so, this is not good.
Hard reset (Reboot phone and hold both Volume Keys before device starts to boot, and continue holding them untill you get to the white screen, then follow the prompts.)
If you can get back to stock with a hard reset, I suggest you go here and do some reading.
If it gets stuck at the same screen, you will need to find your stock ROM. You can hopefully find it from HTC's site with your Serial Number.
Once you get your stock ROM, connect your phone to your PC and go to Bootloader. Once it displays 'USB' instead of Serial, run the .exe for your stock ROM.
i tried to dl stock ROM from HTC.com, but it says:
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
im not sure if im on the right side, but there are only 4 options...
i downloaded original update, but from other side and while phone was connected to PC with Red green blue screen i opened the RUU everything went good until status bar (on PC and phone appeared status bar with % as it started installing, but then error) :/
So hard reset was unsuccessful?
Try flashing from SD card.
Right click on the Stock ROM and Extract to a folder.
Place the ruu_signed.nbh file renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and then enter bootloader.
This will initiate the flash and hopefully it won't get stuck at 0%
You can also do this with the .nbh file from hspl.
Perhaps you should try to do HSPL .nbh first, because your OS is locked, it will ONLY accept the exact replacement ROM.
Also, I would suggest taking some time to read and learn about this stuff before diving in head first.
The link I provided previously is very thorough.
Take a look at the MTTY thread after you read about flashing and HSPL.
in bootloader it flash for 0,1 sec and says "Unable to load imagefile" or sth like that

Make sure it is 'TOPAIMG.nbh' exactly without quotes.
What was the error you received when you attempted from your PC?
its exactly like that,
it can be any ROM? becouse i have rom with nbh + exe files and with nbh only

No, unless you get HSPL to flash first.
If you successfully installed a ROM, it would not boot up because your OS is still locked.
Use this .nbh which is for HSPL 1.83. If you can get this to flash, do the same with HSPL 2.51, then you can flash to any ROM.
i think im lost.
can you please explain me, what should i copy to my SD card and what to do (in oredr)
thanks

Download the SPL 1.83.zip and extract the .nbh file.
Rename it to TOPAIMG.nbh and place on SD card
Enter bootloader mode and pray.
With luck, it will complete to 100%
Then you go back to bootloader and VERIFY your SPL says 1.83.Olinex. (This is the step you skipped before you attempted to flash a ROM, and you have bricked your device as a result)
Without luck, it gets stuck at 0%
Then you need to read up on MTTY to recover your device.
If you think you have your EXACT stock ROM, you can do the same with the .nbh file you extract from that, as previously instructed and get back to stock first before worrying about HSPL.
Basically HSPL unlocks your OS to be able to accept updates. Without it, you can only update from the stock image.
So your choices are, to try to HSPL, or try to get back to stock. Both can be done the same way, in bootloader using respective .nbh file.
I think you are looking to shortcut this stuff and it will only lead you to headaches, unless you take some time to read and learn.
Now, you never did answer;
Did you attempt a hard reset?
What was the error you received when you ran the RUU from your PC?
so i renamed that file, put it on card, card to phone, pushed VolDown and turned on. It flashed with loading and then again "No image file" and back to boot screen
i did few hard resets
error when i tried that "official ROM" was that: Error 294: Invalid render ID
This update cannot be aplied on this device
i try older ROM
Alight, your 294 error indicates its the wrong ROM for your device.
No Image File indicates that bootloader isn't recognizing the file.
Make sure your SD card is formatted to Fat32, you may want to try a 2-4gb card just to be sure. Sometimes larger cards get errors.
Since you can't find your stock ROM, you need to get the HSPL.nbh to load first.
If you can get the 1.83.Olinex to flash, continue the same process for HSPL 2.51 .nbh file.
so i did everything dled you file, formated card, put your file on card renamed turned on phone and now its stucked on loading (if i made something wrong tell me) couse im not sure
i connected phone with pc and try to instal Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL but its stucked on 0%

Well, we got it to recognize the image which is good.
Sounds like you did everything correctly, it just doesn't always work.
I think you have 3 options here;
1. Try to find your stock ROM and flash either from PC in bootloader or from SD card.
2. Read about MTTY and how to use it to flash to your phone and recover, but I still think you need your stock ROM to do this.
3. Warranty return- just tell em it froze, don't mention what you have done to it.
I have one other thing we can attempt here.
Download the enclosed file and unzip it to your PC.
Connect phone to PC and go into bootloader, then run Task29.exe.
With any luck this will force it to load HSPL.
Let me know what happens.
i tried ROMUpdateUtility, task29everything seems to work, but alwways stucks on 0%...
úroblem is, that my phone isnt originaly mine, i bought it from one guy, (couldnt be problem that it is MDA Compact V?)

Who can help, pls? Can't reinstall windows :(

hi there mate, Im no expert but I had the same problem.im no expert and you may have to wait for expert advice,....but......
I reformatted the memory card with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 5.2 it reformatted the card slowly, you can search the forums for" format card"and download a proper formatting programme.
I also had problems with the actual download once, i kept having the no image error come up over and over, so i re downloaded the file and it worked ,....also when they say take the battery out and wait,...do it for 10 secs.

hm, not sure if I'm 100% with you, but lets try:
the output you describe (SPL-0.78.0000) clearly shows that you are still on the latest stock spl, which you either got by factory default or through one of your later updates through SEUS (depending on how old your phone is)
this (stock spl) automatically prevents flashing of customizes roms (like the mentioned Energy rom), all you can flash with that are stock roms
there is the hard-spl thread concerning this by olinex which you most probably read and tried
so as I understand it you failed at flashing the hard-spl, then tried to run SEUS which failed as well and now you cannot even start your phone?
after failing at SEUS did you retry to run the SE update utility? it sometimes fails before successfully completing
did you try putting a stock rom on your sd card and flashing this (that would delete personal items and settings not backed up)?
how did you try flashing hard-spl? synching your phone with your pc and launching from there?
Best, DK
hi,
thanks for your post, and for trying to help. i should mention that i have never sync the phone with pc, i never need this. and i tried to hard spl the phone, but also gives error, it shut down. from then i tried several tims to do the update with the sony-ericsson application, it check's the phone and said that i have the latest software, but if there is any problem, try reinstaling the software. i push the reinstall button, it starts reinstalling, but the bar goes between 10 to 25, other time even 60 %, and then gives the communication error, and sais to try again.
i am no expert, this is the first time i try to do this on a phone, so if there is anyone who is so kind to explain step by stpe what i have to do, i shoul thanks him verry much.
So you want to install custom ROM to your phone? you need hardSPL first
If you have it hardSPL it will show 0.7.2.ollinex
then you just flash it. Try google how to hardSPL and FLash
simple mechanism,
X1 (Stock ROM and Stock SPL) -> hard SPL -> X1 (Stock ROM + hardSPL) -> Flash custom ROM (Energy ROM) -> X1 (hard SPL + Custom ROM)
WHY should Hard SPL?
because as DK explained above, SPL is the bios of your X1 and won't accept any ROM beside Stock ROM. so to have your X1, you need to change by doing Hard SPL, it will make your X1 accept any kind of ROM, stock or customed.
is it better to upgrade Stock ROM and Stock SPL to install applications? sorry, i'm just new in SE phone specially x1, so many things to learn here..

They're both the same. Applications will install fine on a stock rom as well as a custom rom, there's NO difference. Think of it as jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone, they can still install apps from the app store with no problems, NOTHING is changed.
In fact, think of it as a car. An normal car uses petrol. A car with a modified engine ALSO uses petrol. So there's no difference.
The difference between a stock and custom rom however, is huge. A custom rom is basically a stock rom, but modified. Custom roms gives you more customizability, just like jailbreaking an iDevice. Most of the custom roms run more efficiently, and a lot faster than a stock rom.
It's NOT hard to install a custom rom, you just have to read the guides properly and follow the simple steps. It's worth every bit of your time. Just follow the 8 steps here to install hardSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
and here if you want video tutorials:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497511
And btw, the SPL thing is just the same as a jailbreak. It's a hack basically. Installing hardSPL will jailbreak your device so that you can install custom roms on it, it's basically "unlocking" the device so you can do whatever you want with it.
